Summary: This book has it all!
Review: I received this book for my birthday this last October and its been a god send. It has all kinds of tips that one wouldn't think of using. The main thing I like about this book is that it shows you ways to fix those photos that didn't turn out so good. For instance it shows you how to remove a shadow from someone's face that you've snapped. Someone has acne problems? That's simple. Although it seems really simple now the best thing I learned was how to get quality prints from the digital photos I took (basically change the DPI!). Learning these techniques are very easy as each one is done in a step by step fashion. Scott even gives some advanced tips that beginners can do as well (IMHO) I'd recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in digital photography and wants to make their photos look as good as possible.

Summary: the photoshop book for digital photographers
Review: This has been the best book on "How to do" I have ever read. The instructions are so precise and to the point. His sense of humor is fun without getting in the way. I wish this guy would write books on everything else I want to learn about. Maybe he should be a consultant on how to do these types of books.
The only small frustration is in the shift between Mac and PC. Some times this is confusing but I can still figure it out.

Review: The Photoshop Book For Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby (Editor of Photoshop User Magazine) is an excellent how-to guide written for professionals while being thoroughly accessible to the non-specialist general user wanting to learn advance concepts with respect to the art and science of digital photography. Taking the refreshing approach of explicitly showing step-by-step instructions for techniques that professional digital photographers use, The Photoshop Book For Digital Photographers is a handy informational and visual resource packed from cover to cover with examples and full-color photographs that superbly illustrate its sample techniques. Simply put, The Photoshop Book For Digital Photographers is a "must-have" instructional reference for digital photographers regardless of their levels of expertise or experience.

Summary: A must for former darkroom photographers.
Review: Darkroom photographers learn to analyze a photo. This book takes the analyses you have perfected over the years and tells you how to use Photoshop 7 to perfect your images. The step by step approach focuses on the process, not the myriad of possibilities with every Photoshop tool. From the first image you work with using this book, you will quickly get results, and begin to build your knowledge of Photoshop. The book sits beside my monitor, and is used several times a week. Wish my kids came with instructions like this...

Summary: Good info for amateur photographers and hobbyists
Review: This book has some good information in it that would be beneficial to Professional photographers, but most of the techniques are aimed at amateurs and graphic designers, not professional photographers. I'm a professional retoucher and digtal imagin expert, and would not say it's on my "must have list". That list would start with Martin Evening's Photoshop for Professional Photographers, and also include the Real World Photoshop and Real World Color Management books.

Summary: Not groundbreaking
Review: This book is pretty. ... that's about it ... pretty. It could be much more helpful in the area of color-correction. Many of the image alterations are corny and have more steps involved than you really need to get the job done. Overall, it has a nice title but has nothing surprising in the realm of color correction, use of layers or effects.

Summary: Too simple
Review: The book title should have been something like "Tips and Tricks". I admit a lot of tips in it are useful but most of the time I feel they are too simple and the arthur did not go into why you are doing something. You can't really learn something unless you understand why you're doing it. The chapter on Sharpening is very good and I wish other areas are as detailed. Overall, this book is not very in depth on a lot of areas and good for beginners only.
